Interactive Circle Pro

How to set up and style the Interactive Circle widget in Elementor.

Interactive Circle places your items evenly around a ring. When a visitor hovers or clicks an item, its title, text, image and button appear in the middle of the circle. Use it to present services, features or the stages of a process in a compact space.

Part of: Bright Addons Pro.

Set it up

  1. Drag the Interactive Circle widget onto the page and open the Items section.

  2. For each item choose an Icon, type a Short Label, then fill in the Title and Content that should appear in the centre.

  3. Add a Centre Image or a Button Text with a Button Link to any item that needs it.

  4. Set Active by Default (item number) to the item that should be open when the page loads.

  5. Open Circle Settings and choose Activate On, then turn on Autoplay or Rotate Circle to Active Item if you want movement.

  6. Pick how Labels are shown and when to Switch to Tabs Layout On smaller screens.

Tips

  • Autoplay pauses while the pointer or keyboard focus is on the widget, while it is off screen and while the browser tab is hidden.

  • Autoplay does not run for visitors whose device is set to reduce motion.

  • In the tabs layout the ring is hidden, the items sit in a centered row that wraps, and the content shows below them.

  • With labels hidden, the Short Label still shows as a tooltip on hover and is read by screen readers, so keep it filled in.

Questions and answers

How many items can the circle hold?

There is no fixed limit. The widget divides the full circle by the number of items, so they are always evenly spaced. Reduce the item size if they start to touch.

Does it work on touch screens?

Yes. A tap always opens an item, even when Activate On is set to Hover.

Can it be used with a keyboard?

Yes. The arrow keys move to the next or previous item, and Home and End jump to the first and last item.

Can the first item start somewhere other than the top?

Yes. Change Start Angle in Circle Settings. It accepts values from -180 to 180 degrees.
